 Beautiful View - From real mountain, one can see the black castle 

 After starting the game you are in a village.  Good cheer.  in excellent health and with some gold pieces, you begin the adventure in search of the tyrant.  You have no weapons except at the beginning of your fist, just as you have no experience.  required for successful standing by the adventure really.  In the course of your inquiries will however collect the necessary experience and maybe enjoy the rest of your life at the end of a rich man.  Until then, however, it is still a lot of work.  and you were not the first.  of the experiment.  to overcome evil, as ash heap or as a dessert a monster ends ... 

 In the beginning, you should familiarize yourself with your surroundings.  In the village where you start and in other villages you can find many houses and shops.  Here and there outside of the villages you can also find other lonely and seemingly innocuous buildings or caves.  However, these places are most likely infested by evil.  Not without reason, they stand alone in the area, shunned by normal people.  On a global overview, you can now see your surroundings and move in it.  You can freely move in all eight directions across almost all areas, except for high rocks, houses and water.  To cross rivers.  there are bridges here and there.  Make sure, however.  while you control the knight through the country.  that you do not overwhelm him.  because it consumes energy while walking, you can see on the left side of the screen.  Of course, the consumption of energy depends on the nature of the areas.  So a walk through the desert is more exhausting than the by road.  But as long as the Knights have enough food rations, he can regenerate constantly. 

 It may be.  that you are being attacked every now and then by some monster.  The location of the event is then displayed larger, and you see at the bottom of the attackers eye to eye.  If you feel the fight is too difficult or you are injured and could not risk putting your life on the line, so you can avoid the fight by simply leave the scene immediately back down.  But such a struggle has also advantages for you.  because how else will you get to experience combat.  if you always press?  In addition, the monsters often have gold with them, for you can buy weapons and food.  If you come across buildings or caves.  that you can go, it therefore has a special story.  In these places you can go!  You do this.  by printing the fire button while you are in such a place.  These places can be: 

The Grocer 
 When Chandler is therefore known to play a lot on he knows very well about almost everything about it.  So you can ask to carry around with him Iinformationen on any items.  However, also here: No one helps as a favor, who wants what must pay.  It gives you the greater your Spendierfreudigkeit is, the more information.  Some information is very important for solving the game, so get there on suspicion that one holds something special in your hands, require very precise information.  Of course you can also buy food at the grocer, but he is also with other things, it can help you buy or sell them anything.  Of course, he also wants to make it a little so that the sale price is hardly equal to the purchase price.  If you lose an object indispensable for solving the adventure once, look at past several shopkeepers might be the object has been found there. 

The arms dealer 
 The arms dealer is a weapons specialist.  It is only with weapons, that he buys and sells, but at a profit of course.  It is worthwhile in general not to sell arms to him, if you do not really need the gold.  But you only get weapons with him and nowhere else In general, the better a weapon.  the more expensive it is.  The effect of the weapons you should find out for yourself.  Especially be mentioned.  that firearms are very important.  to defeat opponents who shoot themselves. 

Other Places 
 In all other places, the game switches to battle mode.  In battle mode you will see an enlarged view of the room in which you are currently.  In one room you sometimes put anything about this the knight can not run.  Likewise, there are those through which he can go.  These items can then be taken with a short press of the fire button, of course, only as long as one still has room for more than eight things you can not take.  Each room is connected to other rooms through doors.  However, some doors are closed, they must first be opened.  Usually located in the rooms in which are locked doors, monsters, undead or animals that have the keys to the doors.  You need to be eliminated before suddenly the doors open as if by magic on its own.  Sometimes there are also doors.  not guarded.  and are still sealed.  Here is the necessary key or object is used which is designed to open the door.  In this case, the door opens to the touch and the corresponding object lights up briefly and then tended to disappear, as it has completed its task.  Very few doors still can not be open, because you have to think of something else then ... 

 Once you open a door, you can also pass, but caution: Sometimes you will be teleported somewhere when passing through a door.  So you can quickly get lost in some places, if you are not exactly the way back noticed.  Some places are like mazes in which everybody has been so lost that he is starved looking for the exit! 

 If the first random battles too heavy and the hero must constantly kick the bucket?  Then just choose the 2 players mode to take over as the second joystick to the opponent.  If a random battle with more than one opponent, the other will still be accepted by the computer.  So be careful or best flee and hope for a better fight.  If the opponent does not move with the joystick for a while, then the game automatically switches back to the 1 player mode.
